Support Online Art Education

Online Art Education exists to make rigorous, thoughtful art learning accessible beyond the traditional boundaries of art school.

Through courses, mentoring, workshops, and shared resources, the platform supports artists who want to develop sustained, conceptually grounded practices while navigating the realities of work, geography, and everyday life.

If you have found value in this work, through courses, resources, conversations, or the wider community, you are welcome to support its continuation through voluntary patronage.

Your support helps sustain the ongoing development of educational material, artist talks, technical demonstrations, and community learning spaces.

Why Patronage Matters

This is an independent education platform in the beginning of it’s life. Much of the labour behind teaching, research, recording, editing, and maintaining community spaces happens quietly and continuously.

Patronage helps support:

  • Development of new courses and workshops

  • Recording and editing educational videos

  • Artist talks and guest lectures

  • Technical demonstrations and research resources

  • Maintenance of the community learning space

  • Scholarships or reduced-cost access for artists with limited means

Your contribution helps keep this work open, independent, and sustainable.

Ways to Support

Institutional or Community Support

If you represent an organisation, school, or cultural institution interested in supporting the project, please get in touch to discuss partnership possibilities.

A Note on Access

Online Art Education was created with the belief that serious art learning should not be limited by geography, finances, or traditional institutional pathways.

Patronage allows the platform to continue offering a mix of paid programs, freely shared knowledge, and community learning spaces.

Every contribution helps maintain a model where depth, research, and practice-led learning remain accessible to artists working outside formal art schools.

Patron Benefits

Patronage helps support the ongoing development of courses, educational resources, artist talks, and the wider learning community around Art Photo School and Online Art Education. While contributions are primarily a way to sustain this independent teaching platform, patrons also receive a number of small acknowledgements and forms of access.

Patrons will receive:

  • In-person communication. Patrons are welcome to come to Halide Studios to spend time in person or connect via Zoom.

  • Early access to announcements about upcoming courses, workshops, and artist talks

  • Behind-the-scenes updates from the studio and teaching platform

  • Optional acknowledgement on the website as a supporter of the platform
